    Audi S6: Car purchase opinion

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi guys, I’m looking to upgrade the A6 to an 2020 S6. Today i test drove a Premium S6, 60k miles. 2 owner. It had a “Audi Pre-Sense: Currently Limited” notification on the dash as well as “Intersection Assistant; Malfunction” notification. The (non-Audi) dealer said they’d take care of it. I also noticed a weird clicking noise on the front driver side wheel after about 15 miles. Could be CV joint. Below is the service history. Why do you guys think?

    Here’s The Service History Records. All serviced by Audi

    Having the fuel pump/sending unit replaced twice is a little weird, but that could be explained. They probably replaced it the first time under warranty because it wasn't working and then the second time because of the recall (and because they didn't have it sorted out and replaced it with a potentially faulty unit the first time).

    Sunroof replaced? I don't know. And then the other sensor faults? I'd stay away from this one.

    Not S6, but Audi in general I have had 3 in relative recent history, 1 hit 250,000 miles, and 2 hit 100,000 miles and none had this sort of issues. I wouldn't count on a non Audi dealer to have the technician and the tools to address any of those sensor issues.

    I got rid of the most recent because when stuff started to go wrong I couldn't find an independent repair facility that could diagnose and repair these cars!

    Agree with wheeljouster about the fuel pump scenario, and replacing the sunroof could have been just broken glass. Can you see the entire list of what was actually replaced?
